Does Hyundai/Kia use the ES pads on any other application--I would assume this was "parts-bin-engineered" and that a new set of calipers/rotors/pads was not developed solely for this application.

There are very few performance pads showing in the marketplace--perhaps there are some other cars that we can cross reference as a source for better pads...

I would check with Pierce Motorsport or Josh Sadler at KDM Tuners.

Rear pads are somewhat easy to find. No joy yet finding front pads.

Will be good to upgrade these....

Powerstop Z23: Z23-1912. These seem pretty highly rated and cost much less than EBC offerings. ( https://www.powerstop.com/product/z23-evolution-sport-brake-pads/ ) Should be able to get a set for $35-40/shipped

So far, the Ioniq and Niro seem to share pads--doubt we will see any performance pads for those...
